Engage with the lyrics for “Teary Eyes,” the new collaboration between YoungBoy Never Broke Again and Burna Boy. The song’s words focus on emotional conflict and regret.
The lyrics for “Teary Eyes” by YoungBoy Never Broke Again and Burna Boy present a direct theme of emotional conflict and romantic regret. For fans interested in the words for singalongs or deeper understanding, the track offers a conversational tone centered on apology and need. Burna Boy’s chorus establishes the core concept, asking the listener not to cry while acknowledging the pain his words may cause. This sets a vulnerable foundation for the entire song.
YoungBoy Never Broke Again’s verses expand on this theme with specific, personal details. His lines describe relationship mistakes, distance, and a plea for reconciliation. The language is characteristic of his style, mixing references to luxury vehicles and street life with expressions of deep emotional dependency. Phrases like “life support” and “beggin’ you, please” convey a sense of desperation that contrasts with typical bravado, providing raw material for lyrical engagement.

The song’s structure uses Burna Boy’s melodic chorus as a reflective anchor between YoungBoy’s rapid, confessional verses. This back-and-forth creates a dynamic listening experience, as the mood shifts from sung contemplation to spoken intensity. For karaoke, this offers participants two distinct vocal approaches to perform: the smooth, reggae-inflected delivery of the chorus and the faster, more percussive flow of the verses.
A repeated lyrical motif is the concept of a “team” and its “cheerleaders.” This metaphor frames the relationship as a crucial support system, emphasizing partnership over mere romance. It is a memorable line that listeners can latch onto, providing a central image for the song’s message about mutual need and appreciation amidst failure.

The outro, delivered by Burna Boy in Nigerian Pidgin, offers a melodic resolution. The phrase “Na so e de go” translates to “That’s how it goes,” providing a sense of resigned acceptance. This cultural and linguistic shift adds a layer of authenticity to the collaboration and gives the track a distinct closing feel. Engaging with these lyrics allows fans to follow a narrative of fault, plea, and weary resolution, making the track suitable for listeners who connect with themes of complex love and personal accountability.

Lyrics
[Chorus: Burna Boy]
If the things I’m sayin’ start to say give you teary eyes, don’t
Need you here with me to listen and just hear me cry on the song
Not innocent, not to say I don’t care, it’s, it’s just that when I love, I love too dearly
‘Cause, ’cause what would any team be without the cheerleaders? So
[Verse 1: Youngboy Never Broke Again]
Try for to hold her, I get closer, she move away
Truth, I should’ve told her, now she showin’ me I shouldn’t have played
In the back of my Rover, textin’ you, while gettin’ chauffeured
Tellin’ you, “I’m headin’ over,” and you tellin’ me, “No way”
She know she my life support, hope she don’t pull out on me
She knowin’ that I lied before, she makin’ it hard to keep— To breath and my chest feelin’ hard
I need you, I’m beggin’ you, please
A whole lot of foreigns in the yard, but you meanin’ more to me
‘Til you’re okay, I walk lightly (I walk lightly)
The things this life bring, it don’t excite me (Don’t excite me)
I want you here when I sleep, I sleep (I sleep, I sleep, I)
I want you here on side me, side me
[Chorus: Burna Boy & YoungBoy Never Broke Again]
If the things I’m sayin’ start to say give you teary eyes, don’t
Need you here with me to listen and just hear me cry on the song (Hear me cry, yeah)
I understand, and not to say I don’t care, it’s just that when I love, I love too dearly (It’s just that when I love, I love too dearly)
But then, what’s an winnin’ team, without its cheerleaders? (Cheerleaders) So (So)
[Verse 2: Youngboy Never Broke Again]
I said it’s fuck the pieces they done picked apart to my life
So all night, I hold tight the memories I archive
You’re usually sleepin’ with my song on low
For you, just give me ganja, with the ganja, I’ll go
She groovin’ and when she movin’, she be smoothly hypnotizin’ me, I
And she done proved I’m usually are wrong, I told her she right
As long as you’re around, I sleep, I sleep
I ain’t mean to make you cry, I see
[Chorus: Burna Bo, Burna Boy & YoungBoy Never Broke Again]
If the things I’m sayin’ start to say get you teary eyes
Need you here with me to listen than just hear me cry on the song
[Outro: Burna Boy]
Na so e de go ohhh
Dey go away
Na so e de go ohhh
Dey go away
Uh-uh, nah-nah-nah, mm-ah, yeah
